' Mr. Rogers points out that Bloxam sometimes gave the 

 name calvatus to plants which really belonged to Selmeri 

 (which, however, he oftcner named affinis). (R. gratus, Focke, 

 which grows in Warwick, Derby, Notts, and Lincoln, should 

 be found in Leicestershire, although not recorded for North- 

 amptonshire).

- anglosaxonicus, Gelert. 2A : 'So far as I know 



typical R. anglosaxonicus has not yet been 

 found in Leicester. I thought Mr. Linton's 

 forest border plant might go under it as a 

 form ; while the several plants referred to by 

 Mr. Jackson (Ulverscroft, Swithland Wood, &c.) 

 are nearer to vars. setulosus and raduloides than 

 to type anglosaxonicus.' W. M. R. in litt.

8 Mr. Rogers says : ' The earlier Leicestershire records of 

 R. villicaulis, W. and N. are most probably all R. pyramidalis, 

 Kalt, which seems invariably to have been named R. villicaulis 

 in England then.' He also says : 'I have no recollection of the 

 occurrence of the f. R. eifeliensis, Wirtg. in Leicestershire, but, 

 of course, Jackson may be right about it.'
